    India issues RFI for multi-role naval helicopters

    Strange is the fact that even the Ka-27's that the Navy uses widely are 15.8 Metres in length and the Westland Sea Kings/UH-3's are also more than 16 Metres. Maybe they are looking for something like the Eurocopter Panther?

    Su-35 has it's airframe made out of composites which helps in significantly reducing the RCS.Removal of the Canards and the Airbrake help as well.Although the RCS of this huge bird still won't even be comparable to the Eurocanards.

    What About : 40, Su-35 BM for Stratageic Forces Command ( India ) ?

    That is a original Su-35 or S-27M used by the Russian Knights not a deep modernisation Su-35BM/Su-35S that you are talking about here.The Su-27M/Su-35 was a prototype only.
